Method and system to provide a distributed local energy production system with high-voltage DC bus

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a management unit, parameter data from a plurality of link modules coupled between a direct current (DC), high voltage power line and a plurality of local energy production units respectively, the direct current (DC), high voltage power line having a voltage to deliver electrical energy a consumer of the energy, each respective photovoltaic panel of the plurality of photovoltaic panels having a respective link module, the respective link module configured to provide electricity produced by the respective photovoltaic panel solely to the DC, high voltage power line, the respective link module including
• a transceiver configured in a slave mode of operation to transmit data using the DC, high voltage power line, after receiving a command,
• a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) step-up converter to convert a voltage produced by the respective photovoltaic panel to the voltage of the DC, high voltage power line, and
• a parameter monitoring unit to produce the parameter data for the respective photovoltaic panel;
• sending by the management unit control signals to the link modules, the control signals providing individual operational control of the local energy production units;
• communicating by the management unit with one or more separate computers to provide the computers with access to the parameter data and control of the local energy production units;
• and
• providing, by the management unit coupled to the direct current, high voltage power line to transmit the command to the transceiver of the respective link module and coupled to a local area network to communicate with internet, a web server configured to show photovoltaic panel data, panel performance, panel failure, system efficiency, and power generation information.
